Not sure who is trying to play the spoiler here, but Microsoft and Sony are both planning to announce their next-gen game consoles within hours of each other on May 16th, two days before the big E3 gaming expo begins. Unless Microsoft decides to move their announcement up, Sony will have the honor of going first—they have their PS3 unveiling scheduled to take place at the Sony Pictures complex in Culver City at 3pm, three hours before Microsoft is set to introduce the Xbox 2/Xbox 360/whatever they're calling it a few miles away in downtown Los Angeles.
